Default is babesiosis a risk with IVIg?
I'm sorry if this post causes more worries, but I've been wondering about babesiosis, a tick-borne infection that causes an illness similar to Lyme disease. I have read that it's a problem with blood transfusions, but when I google "babesiosis IVIg," all I get is articles about using IVIg as a treatment for babesiosis. Evidently there's no screening test. Can someone tell me if IVIg is safer (with regard to the transmission of infections) than a full blood-transfusion? Thanks,

Abby
